JUSTIN HILL LEAVES THE MOTOCONCEPTS HONDA TEAM AND IS REPLACED BY BROC TICKLE FOR 2021 SUPERCROSS
Broc Tickle was first seen on Tony Alessi’s instagram story wearing Leatt gear and hanging out with the rest of the Smartop Bullfrog Spas Honda team on the morning of Friday, November 13th. This raised questions on if he would be joining the team. Would the MCR Honda tent host five riders? Broc Tickle alongside Shane McElrath, Vince Friese, Benny Bloss and Justin Hill? Vital MX was the first to reported that Broc would actually be replacing Justin Hill on the team.
MXA reached out to Justin Hill to confirm the allegations and he said that they are true. Justin was quick to clarify his respect for Team Owner Mike Genova and also to give credit the team and their sponsors for the exceptional motorcycle they provided him. He wasn’t leaving the team because of bike issues or an issue with the team owner; it was issues with the team’s management and with how he was treated. Although the press release has already been released for the team’s 2021 Supercross rider lineup, Justin did not break a contract by leaving the team because he and the team hadn’t signed paper yet for 2021.
